The little zombie followed behind his parents, and suddenly turned around to look at Zhang Meng. His green face and black mouth grinned, as if he was smiling at her.
At this moment, Zhang Meng suddenly felt that this zombie was not so scary after all.
After what just happened, the atmosphere among everyone was not very good.
Old Master Liao looked at the sky and suddenly said, "Now that we have passed the second level here, this place is safe. We will set up camp here tonight."
Naturally, everyone had no objection to him as the leader.
Dinner was another can of meat and a piece of compressed biscuit. "If you don't want to eat, don't eat. I'll go into the woods and get you something to eat later."
Worried that she wouldn't be able to get used to the food again, Gu Mingtai snatched the two foods from her hands. Zhang Meng shook her head and said, "Forget it. This place is getting weirder and weirder. I'm afraid it's not safe here. You'd better not go in alone. I can eat it."
After saying that, he tried to grab the things in his hand. Gu Mingtai dodged and stuffed them into his pocket. "Don't worry about me. I'm not one of those guys who can only talk but have no ability. Believe me, wait a minute, I'll be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up. Zhang Meng saw that he was determined to go, and worried about his safety, so she immediately stood up and took his arm, "I'm going with you."
Seeing his mouth open, she knew what he wanted to say, and immediately continued, "If you don't agree with me going, then you don't have to go either."
Gu Mingtai had no choice but to nod his head and lead her into the small woods behind their tent.
Liao Qingting, who was carrying food, happened to see the young couple entering the woods. She immediately asked Sheng Liyuan, who was eating canned food, "Mr. Sheng, what are they doing?"
Sheng Liyuan raised his head, smiled happily, and said with a hint of anticipation, "I'm going to get some food. We'll have something to eat tonight. Liao girl, don't eat too much. There will be delicious food later."
Liao Qingting frowned and turned around to look in the direction the young couple had just entered.
On the other hand, the couple entered the grove and discovered that they could see one or two precious medicinal herbs almost every few steps.
"Gu Mingtai, is this purple ginseng?" She had only seen this herb described in the book he gave her. She originally thought she would never have the chance to see it, but she didn't expect to see this legendary herb in this place.
According to records in books, if this kind of herb is ground into powder and sprinkled on the materials for drawing talismans, the talisman paper drawn will greatly increase its magical power.
Gu Mingtai stepped forward and took a few glances. "This should be it. I haven't seen it either. I saw it in a book just like you."
Zhang Meng grinned and immediately bent down to pull it out. "No matter whether it is or not, put it away first. When I get out of here, I will use it to try what the book says."
Gu Mingtai smiled, took her hand and continued walking forward, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time.
Along the way, Zhang Meng's bag was filled with a lot of medicinal herbs she had picked, all of which she had seen in books and heard from Monk Jingchen.
"Ginseng!" Zhang Meng excitedly ran to the ginseng tree in front of her with five flower seeds and looked around.
"This ginseng must be hundreds of years old!" She vaguely remembered that the age of the ginseng seemed to be determined by the flower seeds on it.
Just as Zhang Meng bent down to dig out the ginseng, the man next to her suddenly shushed her.
Zhang Meng was so scared that she didn't dare to touch the ginseng on the ground. She could only look around with her big eyes open.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly jumped out from the bushes not far away from them.
"Little zombie." Zhang Meng shouted in surprise after seeing the figure clearly.
The little zombie with blood in its mouth jumped in front of them, threw the thing in his hand hard, and it fell in front of the two of them.
An animal with a bloody head that looks a bit like a human face, but the body of a chicken.
Because it was not dead yet, the magical animal made a crying sound like a baby.
"What is this thing?" Zhang Meng looked at it with a chilling feeling.
Gu Mingtai walked forward and took a few glances, his mind recalling the cloud chicken his master had mentioned before. It had a head with a human face, but a body like a chicken, with two legs, and its feathers were golden yellow, and it cried like a baby.
"This is a cloud chicken," Gu Mingtai replied. Seeing that they didn't take the cloud chicken on the ground, the little zombie hissed anxiously a few times, and all five of its long-nailed fingers pointed at the cloud chicken on the ground.
"Gu Mingtai, does it mean that it wants us to pick up that cloud chicken?" Zhang Meng looked at it for a while and kind of understood what it meant, but she was not quite sure, so she quickly asked the man next to her for confirmation.
Gu Mingtai stared at the jumping zombie, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded affirmatively, "That's what I mean. You stand here, I'll go pick up the cloud chicken."
Zhang Meng nodded. Seeing him slowly approach the cloud chicken, she worriedly said, "Be careful."
According to what Master said before, this cloud chicken is a rare tonic. It is said that people who eat this thing will have their old injuries completely healed in two days. Because of this benefit, this animal was hunted in large numbers as soon as it appeared, causing it to become extinct a long time ago.
I just don't know why such an extinct thing would appear in this place.
Here, Gu Mingtai quickly approached the dead cloud chicken on the ground. When he picked it up, he first glanced at the little zombie and found that the little guy did not seem to be in the mood to riot. Then he picked up the bloody cloud chicken with confidence.
When the little zombie saw the food on the ground being picked up by humans, he opened his mouth, revealing his two pointy teeth, and his smile was a bit sinister.
"Hiss..." After the little zombie hissed these two sentences, it turned around and jumped into the bushes again.
Zhang Meng looked at the cloud chicken he brought back and asked worriedly, "This chicken has been bitten by a zombie. Can we eat it?"
Gu Mingtai smiled and revealed the bloody wound on the cloud chicken. "It's edible. The little zombie seems to be very sensible. It knows that we humans can't eat what it has bitten. It broke the chicken's neck. The blood is not from the chicken. It must have come from the little zombie."
Isn’t it? The neck of the chicken in his hand was limp, and you could tell at a glance that it had died from a broken neck.
"That's good. Should we get some more food?" Zhang Meng looked around. Because it was night, the animals had all gone to sleep, and there were not many to be seen.
Gu Mingtai snorted softly, "No need to look for it, this cloud chicken will be fine."
He was not so kind as to ask him to get food for those people.
Zhang Meng knew that this man was holding a grudge against those who had attacked her not long ago. Her heart warmed and she agreed, "Okay, I won't go. This one will do."
When the two of them went back, Zhang Meng did not forget the ginseng she had just found. Naturally, she asked Gu Mingtai to help her dig out the ginseng, which was probably hundreds of years old, and threw it into her already messy backpack.
